[quote=Anonymous]I don't have a kid there, but I know kids who go there, and I haven't gotten the impression clothes matter much, or more than they do other places. Lots of rich kids, but I can't think of a comparable school where that wouldn't be true. It seems like a great school for kids who are the right fit. I interviewed there for a job once. I was struck by the dedication of the faculty I met and by the very informal atmosphere. Kids lying in the hallway painting banners, lots of "doing," respect for children's talents, a high value on artistic creativity. The middle school kids were drinking copious amounts of coffee from the urns which seemed to be all over the school. For whatever reason that rubbed me the wrong way at the time: entitled? pretentious? in need of boundaries? But that was before I was a parent and I mght feel differently now.[/quote]
